Best 4 wheel tracking equipment

[chan61922]

Morning guys so recently treated the old girl to a new set of rubbers all round, thought it would be a wise idea to get tracking done to prolong life of tyres and prevent uneven wear. Had the tyres done via a mobile service at home so wasn’t a option having it done when tyres where fitted. Just wondering what the best bit of kit is to set up wheel alignment, besides Hunter I don’t think I’m aware of any others lol more to the point best place in the west London area? I would mention this in location specific section but it’s overlooked and don’t get many views, most the trending happens on here in general gassing....


Any help appreciated ta

It's not the equipment, it's the operator.

Some will do a better job with string, than someone else with a Hunter.

^ This.

I've had a fully trained Hunter spanner monkey with years of experience spend ages carefully setting my car up to absolute perfection.

I made it a hundred meters or so down the road then took it straight back - he'd used the wrong model data.

If the tracking was that bad, then how do you know?

Hunter is generally the go-to standard:

Although had the misfortune to go against my better judgement and use a quick fit place to do my P38 Range Rover and he made a complete mess of it - simply because he was treating it like a rack and pinion rather than a draglink setup where you set the nearside followed by the offside (he was doing both at the same time and of course every time he did the nearside the offside would be off again)

Many thanks for responses, yeah guess it all boils down to the operator knowing his way around the machine, was hoping someone had a recommendation as even the likes of kwik have hunters in there branches but I can see them making a complete mess of it lol thanks for the link I will check it out and see what comes up for my part of the world. The cars AWD drives pretty true at the min, tyre wear isn’t too shabby atm but I have wheel spacers fitted both front and rear so I guess tracking is affected
